Essential Scots scrutinizes diverse texts from the Union of Crowns and James VI/I's Edinburgh-London emigration to the aftermath of George IV's London-Edinburgh-London journey more than two centuries later, exposing how the "essential" Scot, allegedly possessed of a uniquely durable, influential identity, shaped the literary-cultural narrative imagination from 1603-1832, with implications for the twenty-first century.
